The book was the best thing, in my opinion. The 1979 movie was awesome, too. Although I must confess, I have never seen the 2005 remake. But stay away from Amityville 3D; that one sucks. Amityville 2: The Possession is alright... It seems like half the population likes it and the other half doesn't. I found it ok, but it wasn't fantastic. And a lot of the details were screwed up. They didn't even use the name DeFeo, and they stretched the actual events to a ridiculous extent in favor of flashy special effects and dramatic moments. It was alright as a movie, but it stunk as an adaptation of actual events.

Actually the book was based on actual events, but it stretched the truth so much that people started to think it was a hoax. My pre-med teacher lives in Amityville. She said it's a nice place, but it's too quiet. Creepy
